I recently installed TMPGEnc video mastering works 5 and I have the panasonic hmc150 that produces AVCHD (.mts files), when I installed the software, I was able to produce .mov(using the avid codec dnxhd) file from my .mts clip, it played back smoothly, and I was able to use it in my avid and finally created a dvd out of it.
Ok fast forward to my problem, I wanted to create another project for another event that I shoot, so I went through the same settings in creating the .mov, but to my surprise, the playback is jerky/strobing, it does not seem like an artifact but playback is not smooth at all.
I thought it was due to my computer(6-core 2x 2.9Ghz, 12GB ram), so I create a dvd and the same jerky(it feels like it is moving frame by frame) playback is seen on my dvd player

Update, I have found the cause of the jerky playback. It was due to the CUDA being enabled with the filter, and I had also set mpeg1,2 for the CUDA hardware. I have the quadro 4000, so I thought the CUDA would be nice, but I guessed wrong, after disabling it, the file transcoded and played back smoothly. I am not sure if this is a bug in the current version.
BTW I have 6-core 2x 2.9Ghz with 12GB ram with windows 7 pro 64bit

Importing an MKV with DTS 6 channel.
TMPGEnc 6 doesn't recognize the audio at all.

That's because DTS is not a supported audio format at this time.

Hi!
I have .TS file (h264) from my camcorder and I want to make edited (just cutted in VMW) video, but without recompression. As a result I wish to have mkv with chapters. How?
Thanks. Dee

There is no smart rendering in TVMW5, so it will be re-encoded no matter what.

I am interested in knowing if TMPGEnc Authoring works 4 has any plans in the near future of supporting H.264 encoded transport streams for example MKV in TMPGEnc Mastering Works 5 for Blu Ray Authoring (smart Rendering) without using MPEG2 antiquated 1st generation technology. Unless the authoring software keeps up with Blu Ray technology and current preferred H.264 and VC-1 for authoring you will become obsolete,

It would be really nice if I could use the batch encode option to create m2t files with ac3 (dolby) audio. Currently in the version of 4.0 XPress I have, this is not possible, which greatly increases the amount of time it takes to create my output files for clients.

Currently we have to use the encode tool to create separate M2V, Mp2 audio and ac3 audio files and then MUX each pair together.

We work with hundreds if not thousands of files at a time and cannot manually MUX each audio track with the elementary stream.

Would it be possible for TMPGenc MPEG Editor to change MPEG Flags?

I've got a bunch of MPEG Files that came with the incorrect field order, and the only software I could find to do such a thing would be the Restream software, that is not updated since 2004.

My bad.

Please see my question in the "Reqest" with same topic title.

I film using XDCAM-EX format, 720/60P, 35mbps and edit in Vegas Pro 10. I also smart render in Vegas.

My question is; can I author to Blu-ray format utilizing TMPG4 and smart render. Every other authoring program I have tried ruins the video by over compressing.

As long as it is MPEG-2 and BD compliant, it should smart render in TAW4.

Download the trial and test your files with it to see if they'll work.

Thank you for the quick reply.

I did download the test version, but unfortunately, the program will not allow me to upload my MP4 video files.

Please disregard my last question. I read a recent comment below and added the additional filters as was suggested.

Thanks

I used TMPGEnc to make an MKV (HD) to the same output but less bitrate.
The output is fine at the start and at the end but at the middle is
messed up, indicating that the encoding didn't go well.
I used Cuda.

I just purchased TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5. IS it not possible to convert a file to flash flv or swish formats???

Flash or swf is not one of the supported output formats. It can only import certain flv files.

How do I use Get TMPgnc author to "see" MKV files or at least use them without converting to AVI????
Thanks

Try installing Haali media splitter and ffdshow codecs. If that doesn't work, there are other codec packs you can try.

Is it possible to create an "text button", and link it to a chapter, for example?
It can be done with DvdLab Pro, and it is usefull for linking chapters. I don't want to create a template button for each chapter, because, for each different movie I create, those names of chapter are differents. Neither I want to use thumbnails for that.
I am testing the trial version (which is very, very limited, by the way) and I need to know it before buying the product.

For text buttons with no thumbnails, choose to create a custom menu, then for the track menu, select a layout that only contains text (layouts that end in "(D)"). You can edit the text in the menu editor.

I don't understand why I can't use more than 50.000 bitrate when using Cuda.
This isn't good at all. I need to transcode some files with more than 100.000
but once I choose Cuda (or x264) encoder it reverts back to 50.000.
Bad.
This cancels the Cuda advantage.

What kind of source file is this?

>What kind of source file is this?

Doesn't matter (Avid DV/HD, mpeg)it is the same.

This is a limitation of the Profile and Level setting that you are using. CUDA's highest level seems to be 4.1. Try using the x264 encoder and change the level to 5 or 5.1 and you should be able to increase the average and maximum bitrates to 100000 kbps.

Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC#Levels

I know what I a have to do but using X264 defeats the power of Cuda and increases the time too much.
Even Xpress 4 can do better. I don't understand why the have cut this out?
